She went looking for a husband. She found a temptation she couldn't resist.
Lady Amelia Thorne is desperate. Her family is bankrupt, her future uncertain, and her only hope lies in securing a marriage proposal from the wealthy but aging Earl of Ashworth. She's prepared to sacrifice her happiness for duty Buntil a late-night visit to the earl's library leads her to a forbidden book of erotic art that awakens desires she never knew existed. Caught red-handed by the earl's devastatingly handsome son, Amelia finds herself trapped in a scandalous game of seduction that threatens to destroy everything she's worked for.
He wanted revenge. He got so much more.
Julian Blackwood, the earl's illegitimate son, has spent his entire life in the shadows ignored, dismissed, and hidden away by the father who refuses to acknowledge him. He's learned to survive on his own terms, harboring a deep-seated resentment that fuels his every move. When he catches the prim and proper Lady Amelia with a scandalous volume in her hands, he sees the perfect opportunity for revenge. Using the book as bait, he lures her into an electrifying affair that quickly spirals into a series of passionate lessons in the art of desire.
What begins as a plan for ruin becomes something far more dangerous.
As their secret assignations grow increasingly intimate, Julian discovers that Amelia is far more than a pawn in his scheme. The woman who came to wed his father has stolen his heart completely. But their affair is built on deception, and when the truth comes to light, both their worlds threaten to implode. Julian must choose between his hunger for vengeance and the one woman who makes him believe in love.
He wanted to humiliate his father. He never expected to lose his heart.
